Tasting terms used to describe medium to high tannins include: Veetty: tannins that are smooth in texture and slightly more numerous than ‘silky’, as in Malbec wines from Argentina.
Plush: These tannins are plush but also display a rich, sweet texture, such as Plush Pomerol, Saint Emillion and Merlot wines from regions such as Napa Valley.
Fine Grained: associated with a strong structure and smooth tannins, as associated with the high-quality Left Bank wines of Bordeaux.
Polished: Used to describe a smooth, uninterrupted tannic texture.
The round tannins have more structure than the ‘silky’ ones.
Examples include Zinfandel and modern Rioja.
Sinewy: similar to “Muscular” but somewhat thinner, such as the wine of Saint-Estephe.
Chalky: coarser and thicker than “powder,” as in fine Chianti and some Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon.
Grainy: These tannins are slightly astringent, with rough edges and a slightly grainy feel. A similar description is Sandy.
