According to the VFG Label Resource entry, Burberry dropped the "s" in their name (which appears on the label to your tie) in the late 90s, so it would presumably date from that point or earlier.
If you can show a photo of the whole tie (especially the front blade) and provide length and front blade width measurements, you may get more opinions narrowing date.

I've never seen a tie label placed on the thin end vertically like that before - they are typically horizontal across the wide end of the blade, or tucked in the lining. The exception is straight skinny ties from the 60's. I imagine they are not usually placed there because they would get caught when pulling this end through when tying.

As Carrie mentioned, showing the whole tie and both blades from the front and back will help us more accurately date your tie.
Just a GENERAL note about tie labels (and this should not be taken as speaking to authentication because I have zero expertise in that area and, as mentioned, we cannot authenticate items in this forum):
Labels being placed horizontally across the larger blade is usually a convention of more modern ties. Older ties frequently have the label(s) on the small blade . I have attached a few photos just to show you what I mean.

I have a love/hate relationship with ties. When they are in my house, I hate them. When they are on a rack in a store, auction, or estate sale, I love them and have to buy them so I can bring them home and hate them. I think vintage ties create some sort of strange sickness/addiction.

Cravat Cravers Anonymous.....I confess! I belong to that group, too! I can't resist them, but have the same problem about getting them listed! But, they are somewhat fascinating!

The multiple logos woven into the front of your tie are interesting. I love beautiful silk paisley prints for ties. I sold a pretty Burberrys a little while ago that I really liked.
