Agreed, his performance was almost faultless. Hamlet's youth is a requirement of the text rather than a flaw in DT's delivery - think about how many times the word youth, or derivatives thereof, are uttered during the play (most frequently with reference to the eponymous Hamlet). It's a major theme which is so often overlooked in analysis, and even more so in performance. Still, as criticisms go, it's fairly minor here.
