Subject: Is it too late for copper?

I recently sampled an unbottled 30 gallon barrel of cider from last 
years pressing.  It has, I hate to say, a cooked cabbage flavor 
which, I venture to guess, is not what most people want when they 
open a bottle of cider. 
I am curious about trying to clean this up with a little copper, but 
am not sure if it is too late.  I have heard that copper is more 
effective against the "rotten egg" smell than the "cabbagy" smell, 
although I believe that both are produced by the same compounds at 
different points in their life cycles. 
I am not really sure where to start with copper and would appreciate 
any advice.
