5DsR: Noise at high ISO like film grain?

Hello,
please, this for the 5DsR users.
I recently saw images online from that camera, converted to Black & White, using ISO 2000 and ISO 5000, natural light after the sunset, without any special editing apart from the conversion to B&W, neither added grain to simulated old 35mm film and the images looked to me almost like film (Ilford, maybe).
A beauty.
The grain was very nice, at least in B&W.
Anyone of you 5DsR (everyone knows that this Canon sensors are a bit noisier than other brand sensors even at base ISO) users had the same feeling?
Digital noise in colour isn´t pleasant to me. But in monochrome...

I just saw online images. A print would be important but I don´t have access to one. A RAW file would be also a good test but I don´t have one either.
So I trust in your feedback as users.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
