Domain Age is hugely relevant for ranking - at least it is in Google.
Age of the domain is just one thing that absolutely cannot be gamed. Thus Google has an objective, honest measure to look at and if a domain was registered longer ago its more likely to be one which has a level of committment accorded to it.
Its only one factor but it is an important one. If you look at the top ranking sites across a range of very major keywords, youll find that the top ranking sites domain names generally were not registered in the last two or three years. They tend to be older domains.
