Don't be mislead. It's very common for Google to give a brand new site fantastic positions in the SERPs for a few weeks. When the shine wears off, your positions will most likely plummet into the supplementals for a few weeks and you'll have to rely on solid SEO to work your way back out. This is commonly known as the Google Sandbox effect.

Domain age IS important.
