Montblanc Winter Glow

Another nice red ink from Montblanc. Montblanc is really good at making reds. Corn Poppy Red is my favourite red ink. This one doesn't stay far behind.

It's a perfect match with my new red Pilot Falcon/Elabo.

Nice review and ink. Looks similar to Rouge Hematite with out the gold sheen/sparkles.

So many inks, so little time...

That does look like a nice ink. Is it a limited edition, though? I didn't find it on Montblanc's website, just Corn Poppy Red.

Great review and I love the comparison of all the reds!

Hi Ruth, I got on the red bandwagon a little late, so I only got my first bottle of this ink a month or so ago. If you are interested in getting one, I would check the MB boutiques, because they still had some left over inventory.

Has anyone compared it to the latest Shakespeare Velvet red? I would do so - if only I had received my bottle of Shakespeare. I have an unused bottle of Winter Glow.

I think this one has pink/magenta undertones, whereas Shakespeare has brown undertones. Recently I saw a review (in Polish) in which this ink seemed to be even more pink.

I recently found six back up bottles of this in my ink box. I also found 10 back ups of Hitchcock. Do I need both? Maybe it's time to do a detailed comparison between the two so I can decide if I want to sell some of either bottles.

I'm sure you would have no problem selling either colour. :)

OR...........maybe you should have FOUR more bottles of Winter Glow so neither one will feel you like the other better?

Nice to see the comparison with the other red inks!

I've always found this to be an exceptional red ink.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
