The word 'vintage' was taken from the Old French vendage, meaning wine harvest. Then later came to be used as a word to describe "wine, usually of high quality, identified as to year and vineyard or district of origin." It's often employed to express 'a very good year'.
It Was A Very Good Year (Frank Sinatra)
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short
Im in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
17歳のあの頃は
すごくいい年だった
田舎の小さな町の子と
付き合って穏やかな夏の夜を過ごすには
最高の年だった
お互いに
牧草地を照らしてる
灯りを避けて会っていた
17だったあの頃は
すごくいい年だった
大都会の上の階に住んでいて
髪をきれいに整えて
いい香りがしてくるような
そんな子と付き合うのには
最高の年だった
その髪も最後には
ぐちゃぐちゃになってたよ
21歳のあの頃は
だけどもう
