Inside the chest, they discover that the merchant has been hiding an old bottle of Dusk Rose. The bottle is sealed and has never been opened, making it extremely valuable on the market. It is highly likely that the merchant isn't supposed to have this bottle and may have saved it without Marcellus's knowledge.
While another Summoned has obtained a sample of Marcellus's wine and has proven a match, this bottle will be important for confirming that it is in fact Marcellus's blood inside the wine and not someone else's. Because the bottle is sealed and is a vintage from many years ago, there can be no accusations that the blood was planted, either.
Should they bring the bottle to the Sentinels, they will inform the group of the above and will keep the bottle for evidence. At this stage, the Sentinels have started to look for Marcellus. They ask the Summoned to leave this part to them.
