Pass one's prime...

Jude: How do you like the wine, dad?
Jude's Dad: Chateau du pre '82? (Please coorect me if I missheard it.) This is hype.
Too bad only three of us can drink it.
Shay: That's right. I forget how old you are, Tom. It's funny in this business
how quickly we pass our prime. Get old?
