surely a trick question when only one is below RRP?
 
From Entre-Deux-Mers in Bordeaux. 100% Merlot and a stunning wine. Was gifted this bottle for a milestone birthday a few years ago and cracked it tonight with slow roasted lamb shoulder. Drinking superbly right now and shows that you can have a great bottle of Merlot (that's not Petrus)

Got a few myself, tucked away deep in the cellar.
Very interesting wine with good depth but as I suspected far too young. "Vinophilia". Very good and strong fruits and strong bitter tannins, with Merlot and CF predominant, but not integrated yet. Going into cellar for some years.
 
It is just so tough when you are in a foreign place and you have to try wines you are unfamiliar with @Cruiser Elite. In the US it took me a while to figure what reds were drinkable.
