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