A lot depends on how the individual bottle aged. It should taste ‘ok’ and then improve for hours or a day.
Id open and pour a little and smell and sip it. If its got a lot of volatiles then decant. If it tastes good and is smooth then id leave it in the bottle.
Open too early or decant a tasty wine and it might lose some flavors you like. Some stuff really takes a few hours to settle and taste really good.
I wouldnt get too upset about not enjoying it- thats how you learn what sort of wine you like. Theres a lot of expensive italian wine that i cant stand (and theres also expensive and moderate priced italian wine that i love.)
