This ink was sent to me for review by the good folks at Diamine Ink. I am not otherwise affiliated with them.

I was just reading your review of this ink and its comparison to Parker Penman Ruby on your blog.

 

I found some Parker Penman cartridges in Mocha and Ruby in a local bookshop. I've tried the Mocha in a calligraphy pen and found it to be really nice in both shading and flow, a lovely ink. I haven't yet tried the Ruby but if its anything like this it must be a treat.

 

Diamine Syrah is definitely on my list of inks to try now.

 

Thanks for the review and a very informative blog.

thx for the review, DP! this is one of my fav reds from diamine, along with Oxblood and Red Dragon. can't say which i like most... love all 3 equally.

My favourite ink - put it in a copper Esterbrook with an Osmiroid gold-plated nib and the combination of colours as the ink hits the paper is breathtaking.

I agree about this ink. It is one of the most intriguing inks - you look at it quickly and it almost appears black, then you look at it and see the rich burgundy color. Simply amazing!

I love burgundy/wine colors inks.. Diamine Syrah is my new favorite.

I have a bottle I ordered directly from Diamine. Really is a terrific ink, use it exclusively in my Burgundy Parker "51" Special, a perfect match.

I love this ink. I use it in my Red striped M800. It's a great colour. Looks great on the Rhodia webbie's ivory paper.

 

Thanks for the review!

Syrah is now tied for first place.... with Noodler's Black Swan in Aussie Rose, which I just got a bottle of. The reason is because the two colors are almost indistinguishable-- even in shading properties. Pretty interesting. I don't normally run across inks this similar.
