I don't remember how old he was supposed to be in TNG..  I thought he looked 
like he was in his 50s at the time.  For the Picard show, that would make him 
in his 70s.  Though perhaps he is closer to 90.  But who knows..  It seems 
people in the Star Trek universe live longer than people today.  They had an 
old Dr. McCoy in an early eposide of TNG (was it the pilot?).

The Picard show will take place about 20 years after the events of Nemesis.  Of 
course things will look more advanced.  I don't think that would be much of a 
surprise.

If it were a new crew, then it wouldn't be the Picard show.
