Several attempts have been made to reconcile the various data of the Iliad, but they are contradictory. So we cannot really say.

According to Apollodorus Achilles was 15 when they set off at the first gathering at Aulis which was 8 years before the Trojan War proper and 17 years before the end of the 9th year of the war, so Achilles was at least 32 when he died.
