Overripe banana, mineral edge and a whiff of glue and rubber — this is a young, cask-strength Fiji from South Pacific, bottled by Barikenn. Tropical fruit and ginger pepper carry the palate, with light wood behind. The alcohol runs hot and a little raw; a couple of tasters even parked the bottle for a year to let it settle. Interesting, slightly rough around the edges.

How does Barikenn South Pacific Fiji FPBP 2012 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young, hot Fiji with banana and minerals Well-liked young Fiji: banana, minerals and ginger heat. Several found the alcohol under-integrated and a faint artificial note off-putting, so opinions run from tasty to rough.

Finish Short to medium, light wood, light ginger, spicy, banana, light herbs. Empty glass Herbs, banana faint honey, ginger, light glue. Don't leave for too long in the glass or it will die.

So far the weakest Fiji in my tasting round ... here fits so right nothing together! In the nose to finish accompanies me something artificial ... which bothers me but can not be defined exactly, the Barikenn and I will not be friends
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Nose typical Fiji. Overripe banana, mineral to herbal. Slightly peppery. On the palate, first sweet, honey, then alcohol. The mineral follows again. Quite tasty.
Review by John Coffey
Smoky finish that I don't like. Nice entry-level wine
Review by Christoph
Good blend of tropical fruits with some wood topped with a ginger spiciness to the taste.
Review by Alexander Rasch
The least mature Fiji in the tasting. Quite edgy. Overall an interesting flavor profile. Feels mineral and slightly artificial. Exciting. I remembered it better. But maybe just a matter of the day.
Review by tojo
After some standing time, tropical fruits like mango, papaya and banana come through along with wood and spices. Alcohol very present.
Review by Gil Firth
Sample from a friend. A young and unusually strong piggy. This is a bottle that delivers a full punch of lacquer. Stench. Smoke. Unripe tropical fruits. Strong finish.
Review by alex
Rather well done. On the fruit. I had trouble at first, even after several glasses, so I left it for a year at the back of the cupboard. And I have to say that what I'm drinking today has nothing to do with it. The "alcohol" aspect is much better, it's smoother and more pleasant to drink. It's not the best fiji, but frankly it's not bad at all. A fine product
Review by Morgan Garet
Nose with a smoky, spicy and solvent dominant side On the palate tropical fruits join the nose notes The finish is average on the spices (pepper or chili) A good Fiji
Review by Benoit CHATEL
Superb on the nose but the alcohol is not very well integrated.
