Congrats on a nice mature deer.
Send the jaw bone in and get it checked to know for sure what the age is.All you can get from teeth is an educated guess.
He may very well be that old but he may be closer to what you had him aged as well.
A deer's diet can have an affect on their teeth so if you want to know for sure,send it in to the state and have them check it for you.It used to be free here in Ky and not sure if it still is or not.

RE: Interesting news today .......
I guess the only accurate way to determine age is to have a tooth cross-sectioned, then aged. I once took the jaw of a 140", 190 lb field dressed buck, along with the rack to our local whitetail DNR biologist and had him tell me that it was a 2 1/2 or even a 1 1/2!!!!!![:-]
I stopped doing that.[>:]
