Assuming your numbers themselves are correct, then yes.

It is wrong, but not because of the calculation. It's because the concentration of tannic acid can not be given in mol/L units due to it is not being
a compound or mixture of isomers (only these can be represented with mol and mol/L units). For this reason, tannic acid does not have a defined
empirical formula and no defined molecular mass.

The first two paragraphs in the wikipedia article on tannic acid are actually pretty good... it's the sidebar information that is misleading.
I should further add that the solubility figure given there (assuming it is even correct in any context) is meant to say that 2850g of tannic acid
will dissolve in one liter of water. This however will not give you a 1.7M solution since the resulting liquid will occupy a volume greater than one
liter.
