Yes, the judge has to state the post-release supervision period at sentencing. However, it's more important to determine whether it was stated at the time of a plea (assuming it's a plea and not a trial).

If the judge didn't discuss post-release supervision at the time of plea, it can not be imposed now. If it was a trial, and it wasn't mentioned at sentence, the defendant can simply be re-sentenced.
