Strict religious figure partakes in classical vintage (6)
I believe the answer is:
calvin
'strict religious figure' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'partakes in classical vintage' is the wordplay.
'partakes' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'partaking of' mean this).
'CALVIN' can be found hidden inside 'in classical vintage'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calvin that I've seen before include "Chief expositor of Presbyterian beliefs" , "John -, sixteenth century French-born theologian" , "John . . . . . ., French Protestant religious reformer of 16th century (6)" , "Geneva Reformation leader" , "Christian theologian" .)
