Monteverde Burgundy (Old Formulation) Review

[antichresis]

 

This is a review (full review here) of the old Monteverde Burgundy. The new bottles are not available in my country (still looking for someone visiting America who I can ship it to economically) so I cannot compare the old with the new. I bought this bottle early last year (when our currency didn't bottom-out yet against the USD) to use for annotation—I'm a law student. For this purpose it is quite good with excellent dry times paired with a Plumix and it contrasts well with black printed text.

 

It is quite a muted colour though, so its usefulness in annotation work relies more on colour contrast than brightness. It has no problem being used to write the main text and I would have no worries using it for my notes, but I haven't yet tried. It will not pair well as an alt-colour with a bright blue or an ultramarine. It goes great with blue-black or black.

 

Comments on how to improve the review (especially what you want to see) are quite welcome. All I know is that I need to desperately improve my handwriting.
