...while the tannin provides a fine, elegant texture
They're talking about the impression that the tannin gives on the tongue, ie the texture. In this case it's smooth, not rough (astringent).

Tannin : Tannin is a substance naturally present in the skin and other parts of the grapes. Tannin is, to red wine what acidity is to white wine, its structure. Tannin (bitter) is detected by the back of the tongue. Depending on the amount the wine is bitter, supple or firm. Certain wines leave an impression of suppleness or smoothness others an impression of harshness or firmness.
