Emotions in wine reviews

Do you ever wonder how professional wine reviewers can put emotion aside to impartially review wines? I certainly do. I wonder whether, when Robert Parker has a really good day, he isn't more likely to give a 1997 Brunello a 98 rating. And a 96 on a horrendous day. Isn't that human nature really?
Further, are there some days where our senses are different, or more refined than others? I certainly think so.

If I sound like Andy Rooney, I don't mean to.

It's amazing to think how much wine economics can be based on what side of the bed somebody wakes up on.
