Bad wine question

I have a fizz problem with some 2002 Chambourcin that I recently took delivery of. Could somebody tell what the problem is, as it doesn't disipate after being opened.

Cheers

Secondary fermentation - some yeast left in wine at bottling and has converted some residual sugar to CO2 and more alcohol.

Take it back to store unless incredibly fine fizz which does disipate after a while which means too much CO2 at bottling.

More likely the former.

Cheers
