"Very typical "Hampden", its aromatic and gustatory palette is made up of sunny and shaded sequences which diffuse a luminosity all in halftones.Moreover, abundantly fruity, floral and freshly herbaceous, it reveals a unity of tone that does not exclude some medicinal and musky upheavals."

As such, the new HES mark sits between the LFCH and LROK marks, relatively low on the spectrum of Hampden's ester count.
