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