I suppose slam is possible opposite a perfecta, but I'd just go with 4H.

So pass is just crazy then, right? Like, it's not even remotely close?
I bid 4♥ without thinking about it at the table...
Put this one under "sanity check" lol

Seems to me to be a clear 4H bid.
As Justin said, give partner

x
AJxx
AKxx
Axxx

and 6 is on the heart finesse....
that's a very pure and control-rich hand opposite, but gives you an idea of the power of our hand.

So partner had

xx
AKxx
Axx
KQJx

and they played two rounds of spades to RHO followed by a diamond through?
Tough.

I think so. You had too much extras for your forced 2H.
