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 Sun, the LA Times, The Times, The Star Tribune, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, the Newsday, The Guardian and the King Feature Syndicate.
