There are a number of ways of rating wine. A critic will usually interject personal tastes into assessment of a wine - unless they shift their paradigm to consider: stylistic intent of the wine maker, region, vintage and ultimately the question: "To whom will this wine with its combination of characteristics appeal?" and rate/review the wine in that context. And yes, as you work with wine growers and makers in the process of writing abot their wines, you become friends with some of them. It is a fine balancing act to not become tainted.
