I'm looking for a wine, either commercially available to purchase or an inexpensive recipe, that tastes nice when young.
In Russian folktales they have a "strong green wine" whose "strength was magical in that it was not acquired by keeping, but was always the same"
I'm interpreting that to mean that it was a wine ready to drink soon after fermentation, and did not need aging to produce quality flavors.
I know a low alcohol wine will generally be ready to drink before a high alcohol wine. While I don't need a truly high alcohol wine I don't think anything under 12.5% could ever be described as strong.
Is there a style or brand that is generally better young?
Can someone recommend a grape wine that is good when young?
