Velier Neisson Cuvée Chai 4 MainMain 2016
People who know Neisson tend to rate this one highly, though tasters argue over where it sits among the three 2016 Chai casks. It's the fruity, gourmand one: fresh grassy cane, apricot, citrus and honey, with young oak, licorice and cocoa on a long dry finish. A few find it elegant but wish it had more punch. Full-proof but well balanced.
The community says- Fresh grassy cane

How does Velier Neisson Cuvée Chai 4 MainMain 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Fruity, grassy Martinique agricole, long dry finish Loved by agricole fans as the fruitiest, most gourmand of the three casks — fresh cane, apricot and honey. Some miss the power and spritz of its siblings.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another older tasting. This one is fully up to its siblings though a slightly different profile. Fruity with nice spices and natural sweetness on the palate. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some chocolate and coffee.
Review by Joachim Guger
A very nice fresh nose, complex citrus aromas and almonds. The same flavors continue in the mouth. The finish tingles like fizzy. Neisson delivers in its usual quality. Really great what Agricoles can offer after a few years of storage!

Very good, prefer ‘chai vevert’ so far.
Review by Simon Leroux
Among the 3 barrels, it is the most elegant, the most tasty and the longest.

Review by Santo
C'est pour moi le meilleur des trois, à la fois frais et gourmand avec une belle complexité. C'est avec celui-ci que je retrouve le mieux le style Neisson
Review by Oliver
More elegant than the "Adrien". However, I miss a bit of power and liveliness.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Auch wieder sehr seicht und hochklassig. Bin ein Fan von diesem Stil. Habe Erinnerungen an Waldhonig. Wirklich toll ausbalanciert.
