PROS
  • Beautiful, deep, sultry red ink.
  • Nice shading but reaches full saturation quickly. 
  • A great red - not bright correction red, but not too dark either.
CONS
  • Expensive. 
  • Tastes gross.
  • No water resistance.
OVERALL

I love the colour of this ink - it's a deep red, but not the correction type red. Good properties, well-behaved, and a bottle that isn't something you have to wrestle with.

I received this ink free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.

    Gorgeous. (Makes me wish I purchased some cartridges for my Brass Wave Liliput.)

    Taste? You did that intentionally?

    The Bottle seems to be the same as the Pelikan 4001 ones.

    Sadly. But I may stop that eventually. Most taste vile.

    Hello, your sample of the Rouge Hematite, to me, looks green. Also, may I ask why you taste the ink?

    Yes, definitely green looking because of that ink's sheen.
    Why do I taste the ink? Hehe good question. Why not? Just curious about them.

    Thank you! :) I'm excited about it. This is such a nice red - not too bright, not too bloody lol

    Thank you. The sheen of the ink is very interesting. As for the ink tasting, I have a bottle of Barolo ink. It was sold as Laywine's (Toronto, Canada), but I think it was made by DeAtramentis. I was told by the owner of the shop that it actually has wine in the formula. I'll take his word for it. It's a lovely shade. Now you have me thinking: what about the taste of Noodler's Baystate Concord Grape?
