Sehr intensiver Hampden. Klassisches Profil aber bietet einfach alles was Hampden ausmacht. Für mich eine Bank. Toll es am Raritäten stand verkosten zu können.
Messebewertung Village'25 Nürnberg Bei Emile am Catawiki Stand verkostet. Schön so ein altes Teil nochmal verkosten zu können. Für einen HLFC hat er schon gut funk. Mir gefällt er wirklich sehr gut und m.E. etwas unterbewertet.
Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Ein wirklich schöner Hampden hier. In der Nase der typische Estergeruch, außerdem tropische Früchte. Am Gaumen ebenfalls tropische Früchte wie Ananas und ebenfalls viel Ester. Lecker.
