By this I mean the pH was slightly higer (by taste, I don't have a meter) and the tannins were grouped into larger multimers. The lowering of the slope of the spectrum may indicate the longer tannin chains. (Continued ...)

Here is the work of Robert Dobi, a reformed emo-kid, that is punks who don't have anything to be angry about, but like the clothes.
