This clue could be a double definition.

'elegant' is the first definition.

'well-seasoned' is the second definition.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tasteful that I've seen before include "Showing good aesthetic judgement" , "with discrimination" , "Decorous" , "Refined, not tawdry" , "Discriminating" .)
