The best thing you can do for a red wine is to let it breathe. I can't stress this enough. Get a decanter, or just a pitcher, and pour the bottle in it and let it sit for an hour. BELIEVE ME it will make a HUGE difference as the tannins mellow.

For god's sake, do not drink red wine that has just been opened.
Also, IIRC, the sexperts say to keep Red in the fifties (degrees) or maybe even the 40's, which I found shocking and ironic, but, one of the proper serving guidelines is to let the wine come close to a seeming room temperature, prior to drinking. ... and yeah, still sober here.
