My son's 4 year birthday party is coming up and I was going to open up a 2005 Vesuvio (his birth year). Any ideas on how long to decant?
Tasting notes to follow...

What a fantastic Port! I'd decant it at least 6 hours before you plan to start drinking it in a large decanter to it has access to more oxygen.

Hopefully the bottle is for you and not your son 
This young I prefer to either pop-n-pour or decant the night before to give it a good long decant.

This one drinks really nicely right outta the bottle as a "pop & pour" as Andy puts it.
