Extreme amount of marbling. I haven't tasted it either but a friend who did complained it was like eating a block of beef flavoured butter - too much fat for him. Marbling is generally accepted as the thing that leads to tenderness and "melt in the mouth" eating quality. Not entirely true though as there are a few isolated breeds in the world that don't marble but have exceptional eating quality. What Wilton Ranch says about time on feed (grain) equalling marbling is considered true by most in the North American feedlot sector but again I'd say there are exceptions. Some breeds of cattle are well marbled throughout their lives - ours are, as evidenced by the occasional casualty we have salvaged over the years. Like a yearling breeding heifer that had no amount of finish on her when she broke her leg - was marbled superbly.
