"Tannic" is an adjective usually used to describe red wines. If a wine is overly "tannic," then it is not a good wine. The term refers to "tannins," which are found in reds, that leave a dry taste in your mouth after you drink it. Basically, the more tannins there are, the drier your mouth becomes. Imagine putting a tea bag into your mouth. That dryness you experience afterwards is because of the tannins in the tea. People commonly mistake "dry" wines for "tannic" wines. But in wine lingo, "dry" is the opposite of "sweet," which are words usually associated with white wines. The word "dry," when describing wines, has nothing to do with "tannic."
