we are not going to start this all over again, are we?

I tried 9 months aged beef and I didn't like it... very odd texture and not-very-nice fatty after-taste. I have no reason to believe that ageing it even further would improve the quality. I have the sneaky suspicion that it's a bit of a gimmick...
Fair enough if you've tried 9 month.

As I said, fashionable . . . so maybe this won't be long term trend. Indeed for most restaurants it will simply be too expensive to produce.

To be fair Carnevino's standard long-aged beef is eight months. Some people do rate it very very highly though:
