Nathan is right - try Vendanges Tardives :-)
As to the smell, we call it 'pétroleux' ... which is a quality when not too
intense or due to intensive non organic operations ...
Try the Alsace wines, the German ones are way too sweet to qualify as Riesling
IMHO.
My favourites are by Colette Faller and her daughters, a super must.
Bien cordialement de Strasbourg (Alsace :-) )

Charlie, a fine Riesling must have a smell of fresh diesel fuel (not exhaust).
I know it does not sound great, but trust me, a nice Riesling from Alsace or
the Mosel valley in Germany is one of life's great pleasures.
Cheers,
Nathan
