I was really hoping for the, "time cures all ills" answer. I have a
buttload of that on hand and I wouldn't have to doctor it anymore.

H2S problems can arise in _any_ fermentation. A trick that may work for you
if you don't have a severe case is stirring the wine thoroughly with a
_clean_ piece of copper tubing. If this is going to work, it'll only take a
few minutes. The H2S reacts with the surface of the copper to form copper
sulfide, which will stick to the pipe. Hanging a clean sterling silver fork
in the wine will do the same thing, but not as quickly.
