Very good behaving ink. Lovely color. A maroon with a black tint to it. Write red and dries with this darker blackish red. Very nice.

As others have noted this ink starts out bright cherry red. However, it begins to "go black" fairly quickly as it dries. Excellent shading, no feathering.
Because this is my first iron gall ink I have not tried it in my high end fps until I see if it stains too much I have it in a TWSBI Diamond 580 with 1.1 stub nib. It writes very smoothly.
I love this ink.

Classic Black is a Beautiful red going onto the page, eventually shifts to dry in black. Pretty pairing for the Platinum Balance Pen in Red Wine. Strange and freaky iron gall ink, but that is why I love it! Pretty red display in the classic retro look ink well bottle. First Platinum ink I have tried but will definitely be getting more!

This ink beatifully transitions from purple to deep purplish black as it dries. It has a nice fluidity and gives your writing a special flair. Pen Chalet delivered my order so quickly! Awesome service, awesome product!

This ink is wonderful stuff. It's very permanent, so be careful. But it goes on the page as a lavender, but then dries to a deep purple with some excellent shading. I was a new comer to pigmented inks and dubious since they require a bit more nib cleaning, but this is an excellent product. I've used it in stubs and in a fine nib; it shades nicely.

These iron galls are amazing. Good colors, and I trust them in all except some of my vintage esterbrooks.

Very fun semi-permanent ink.
Writes smoothly with a luscious bright red-purple and dries to a pleasing dark red with the characteristic dark oxide finish of iron gall inks.
No sheen. Waterfast once dried and oxidized. Dries in 20-30s at ambient 28C, tropical humidity.

Great traditional iron gall ink. Writes dry but has excellent performance and permanence. Great color variation as the ink oxidizes.

I bought both the Citrus-Black and Cassis-Black Platinum classic inks. These are both iron gall content inks that are highly water resistant (only the dye washes off, the black iron content stays on the paper, remaining perfectly legible). As a lefty, I tend to run my hand over what I write and smear it (unless I'm using a blotting paper)so I prefer water resistant inks. However, this is just one, albeit great feature of this ink.

What is really the best about this ink is how well it handles any type of paper, cheap or high quality, it doesn't bleed or feather. Also the shading of these inks is just spectacular, as well as the slow darkening of the writing in the next few minutes after the ink dries. The resulting colors are just awesome! There are total of 6 colors in this new series, so I'm looking forward to getting the rest at some point. This is a slightly drier ink, so that's why it behaves so well on cheap papers.

In addition, this was my first purchase at Pen Chalet, and I was very happy with how it turned out. The shipping was prompt and the product was adequately protected. Thank you!
