## 3 Results and Discussion
### Affective Sensory Analysis  
The consumer profile was: 63% men (37% women), of which 5%, 18%, 45%, and 32% belonged to the age ranges 18-24, 25-39, 40-59, and 60-74%, respectively.  
Samples of _soleras_ 1944 (6.3), 1960 (6.2), and 1996 (6.1) obtained the highest overall liking values, followed by 1930 (5.8) and 1987 (5.8) samples (Table 5); these values led to an overall mean of \(\sim\)6.0, which means that consumers liked the wines \"slightly\". This value can be taken as a high degree of satisfaction because consumers tend not to use the extreme values of the scale, concentrating their opinions in the middle part. On the other hand, _Fondillon_ samples of _soleras_ 1980, 1975, 1969, and 1950 showed the lowest liking values, with a mean of 5.1, which means that the wines were neither like nor dislike. Similar trends were found for the other two affective parameters under study, sweetness and aftertaste, with _Fondillon solera_ 1960 having the highest liking scores.  
When the effects of the gender and age factors were studied, it was surprisingly seen that young women, below 35 years old, were the ones with the highest liking score. This observation did not agree with the preconceived idea that the typical _Fondillon_ consumer was a man of 40-50 years old, with high education and income. This surprising experimental observation opened a whole new perspective of research and revealed the important need to prepare a detailed study to determine which is the current profile of _Fondillon_ and which are the options to promote _Fondillon_ consumption among new consumers.  
Figure 2a shows the preference percentage of the Spanish consumers for the _Fondillon_ samples under study, and Figure 2b the reasons why they chose their preferred sample. The _Fondillon solera_ 1960 was chosen as the most liked one (24%), mainly because of its color, its toasted (woody) odor and flavor, its sweetness, its toffee and coffee notes, and its long aftertaste. Besides, the wine obtaining the highest purchase intention (59%) was that of the _solera_ 1960 (Figure 2c), with sample of _solera_ 1980 being on the opposite side (30%).
