aged

'in' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'one's vintage days?' is the wordplay.
'one's vintage' becomes 'age'.
'days?' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for days).
'age'+'d'='AGED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aged that I've seen before include "Got older" , "Became older" , "Time-worn" , "not a modern copy" , "Elderly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
