Jeb Dunnuck awarded the 2019 Ingenuity a high score of 96 points, describing it as "another beautiful, elegant, yet powerful wine from Fiorentini offering tons of ripe black fruits, notes of ground pepper, chocolate, and graphite." He notes its "medium to full body, beautiful balance, and a great finish," suggesting that while it has plenty of immediate appeal, "it will be even better with just a year or so in bottle" (jebdunnuck.com, 9/26/2022).

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also rated the wine at 96 points, calling it a "supple, fragrant blend" with "aromas of candied blueberries and blackberry jam, plus touches of violet, iron and charcuterie." The review highlights its "abundant, powdery tannins" and "core of perfumed fruit," recommending it be allowed to "unwind for another year or two in bottle" to fully appreciate its "glorious perfume" (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 12/31/2022).

Wine Enthusiast's Matt Kettmann gave the wine a 93-point score, noting its "aromas of roasted blood sausage, charred violet and blistered berry on the asphalt-kissed nose." He describes the flavor profile as including "baked berry, plum, clove and cardamom, with charred beef on the finish" (Wine Enthusiast, 3/1/2023).

Vinous reviewer Eric Guido also rated it at 93 points, pointing out its "peppery rose and wild berry fruits offset by cedary spice." He praises its "soft and enveloping" nature, with "depths of dark red fruit and mineral tones that slowly saturate the palate," and "fine tannins that gently tug at the palate" (Vinous, 5/18/2023).

James Suckling's review, which also scored the wine at 93 points, describes a "rich and generous mix of black and blue fruit with notes of black olives, bark, cocoa and wet stones." He emphasizes its "full-bodied" structure and "mineral backbone," noting that it is "long, persistent and a little chewy at the end" (jamessuckling.com, 10/4/2023).

Overall, the 2019 Epoch Ingenuity has garnered excellent reviews for its robust and complex profile, making it a noteworthy choice for wine enthusiasts and collectors.
