Visconti Bordeaux (Burgundy Red)

[Apoc]

I was at Styl'Honoré (París, highly recommended) and saw a bottle of Visconti Bordeaux. I fell in love with it and the ink in it is top notch. For a total of 9€ i think it was a really good deal. It's a bit darker in person but i couldn't replicate the exact color with my hp scanner.

Nice review. I'm not too familiar with Visconti inks (love the pens), but I really like the apparent saturation and shading. Great find. Yet another one to add to my wishlist.

That looks great, I have to get some. Thanks

Nice review. When you find the right nib, this ink has some beautiful shading that you have captured nicely.

thanks for the review, the color looks stunning

I can confirm that it's a very nice ink. I've nearly finished my first bottle of it and have a second in reserve.

I don't need another red, I don't need another red, I don't need another red.

 

Gotta get this.

Nice red ink color, thanks for sharing

This is a nice red! Any similar reds available that are waterproof? I have a bad case of sweaty palms and only waterproof, or at the very least, water resistant.

The bottle is beautiful!

 

By the way, for the bottlecap, is that the way it is, mottled, or did you stain some ink on it?

[Apoc]

It is that way.
