Decanter Red Wine

Is it possible to over aerate a young red wine?

Would leaving a young red wine (fifteen years old max) in a stoppered decanter for a week or more cause any degradation of the wine’s taste?

I’m told aeration does little for the wine (much less than popularly believed), and in fact from my own testing, I have found that to be the case. Concerning a whole week however… I don’t know specifics, but my opinion is that it might effect the flavour the tiniest bit. How tight is the stopper? Where are you storing it? I would make sure the stopper is quite tight and store at room temperature in a room away from the kitchen. Just personal opinion there, take it or leave it. Wine never stays opened in my house for long. I have, however, heard of people leaving it out unstoppered for a day or more with no complaint.
