In Label no TextDecorations, therefore try this:

<Label Width="100" Height="30">
    <TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline">TestText</TextBlock>
</Label>

Edit: more universal solution

In this case, instead of Label.Content using Label.Tag, because Content property can be set only once:

<Label Tag="TestContent" 
       Width="100" 
       Height="30"
       HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
       Background="AliceBlue">

    <TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline" 
               Text="{Binding Path=Tag, 
                              RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,
                                                             AncestorType={x:Type Label}}}" />
</Label>
