Default tannin's importance?

Good day gents, I am going to be starting a 6 gallon batch of skeeter pee tomorow. I have my yeast, yeast nutrient and energizer, a slurry from my riesling, the sugar and the lemon juice.

Needless to say I forgot to buy the tannin in the receipe and the home brew shop is 40 minutes away. So do you think the tannin is worth the time and gas money? what difference in flavor can I expect from adding or leaving it out?

Any help is appreciated.

Personally I dont think tannin is really needed for this stuff. I wouldnt add it if I were making some of this.

The tannin does add a little to the final experience, but it also plays a small role in helping the SP clear.
