Oh Adam, that is simply fanTAStic!!

Although aeration can change a wine's character through the introduction of oxygen and opening the wine to release its own bottled components to the air, the processes by which the wine will change (oxidation of tannins and other components or evaporation of alcohol) will vary with many factors (humidity, temperature, even the energy by which aeration occurs).

However, this is one test i have not tried.
Two bottles, equal in all respects. One aerated, one not, in an A/B blind test.
This IS a test i will do some day at least two or three times with bottles that are supposed to be 'better' after aeration.
I'll get some recommendations from the local sommelier (who is very qualified and extremely knowledgeable and has accreditations for his background) for the tests.
