Why guess? It listens tcp:2049 - it's nfsv4. It does not - it's nfsv3.
Jessie comes with NFS2/3/4 support, NFS4 being the default.

If this is a result of 'showmount -e' then it does not proof anything
(showmount always uses nfsv3). If this is a result of 'exportfs' on
server - then it's a different story.

You mean - the mountpoint on a server? Good to know, hardly relevant to
the issue.

Sure. First, nobody mounts nfs like you do. It's done differently.
Second, they give you automounter which simplifies things.
Third, assuming 'robin' is a hostname, and you're using ipv4:
sudo mount -t nfs -o soft,tcp robin:/znfs/edrv /mnt
