More mature (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

older

riper

'more mature' is the definition.
('old' is associated in meaning with 'mature')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for older that I've seen before include "More advanced in point of time" , "as we all will be tomorrow" , "Advanced in years (but wiser?)" , "Less young" , "Elder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Penny Press, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the LA Times, The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
