It Is quite closed in the beginning but I can smell the perfume. My usual routine for just delivered wines is to stand the bottle up somewhere cool until the next day, put the bottle in the fridge for around 20mins before opening ,depends on how cold your own fridge is, I hardly do any decant for the whole bottle, just pour a glass and leave it alone for an hour. Even on the third night the wine still very drinkable , no sign of sourness or flavour faded away.
I too found the 2014 slow to release its goods. The 2013 was probably a little more upfront but both seem subdued. I still have 5 of each. Will test side by side in a couple of years.
