Also very keen on Rioja and Ribera del Duero (as you'll see from reading my tasting notes.) I liked this particular wine as you can see from the fact that I ticked the 'I like this wine' box. I think you might be a bit mad.

On the other hand if you call a wine grippy or tannic I would safely assume you did not like it unless you like to hurt your palate. I see your a Burgundy lover so that is a more mellow less biting overpriced grape.

I write these notes as a shorthand for myself. They can be a little terse but if I tick, 'I like this wine', it's a good sign that I found it enjoyable.
