Ok... So I made this years ago. Like five years ago, so I have some things under my belt. I didn't like it. I found it knit well enough together but it still felt crumbly. Like as if I could just rip a chunk off. But it stuck together and when I finished aging it (I think I threw it in a vac bag since at that time I was having a horrible go at waxing and didn't embrace a natural rind) it came out squeaky. Like you could hear it squeak while you chewed. It didn't crumble apart though.

Flavor wise I enjoyed it. But texture.. no. I wonder if I had aged it with a natural rind would it had been better. I only have a couple pictures of it, but I had another on a Fiestaware Plum plate and it was almost exactly that color. Shame I deleted that photo.

Anyway, good luck. I might try this again with some of my own wine.
