I have had them both in past 4 months and the worst wines on the table, not because they are bad wines, they are so damn closed down. I thought 2000 would last forever until 2010 and 2016 came along. Montrose 2010 drinking window is to 2100 (that is actual):). 2016 will outlive me for sure, these are for my kids..

Young Bordeaux is outstanding, but once they hit the "dumb" phase, depending on vintage (2010 and 2016 being insanely long cellaring vintages) they can take a long time to get out. I think 2003 is drinking well now, 2005 just coming around, but 2000 is a hold for me still. I will pop 2009 and 2015, but not 2010 and 2016. That though is why I LOVE Bordeaux, many phases, and when you hit it just right, jackpot. Nothing better!!
