The 2025 is intended to be enjoyed relatively young, while its citrus, orchard fruit and freshness are at their most vibrant.
The 375ml format will generally mature somewhat faster than a standard 750ml bottle, so there is little reason to hold it for extended ageing.
There is no need to decant. Simply open and allow a few minutes in the glass.
