Since the reds that I wanted were out of stock from the store I tried,
I gave Dakota Red from Private Reserve a try. The bottle was nice, in
that the mouth was large and easy to use; not as nice as the MontBlanc
bottles, but nicer than the others I get.

My wife really loves the red, and thinks it is very pleasing. I agree.
It's the bright and bold color that is pretty nice for grading papers.
I would have preferred a slightly deeper red, but this is hardly bad
by any means.

As for writing quality, it seems to work reliably in my MontVerde,
though it's slightly dryer than the Shaeffer ink I had in there before.
Remarkably, despite this, it writes more reliably than the Shaeffer
Inks in the pen, so go figure.
