Well I would have cuebid 4♥ before. Now I feel like I'm at a total guess.
Looks like partner's 5=6 in the minors. So he doesn't have any major-losers. But he forced to a minor suit game when we showed little support so slam seems likely. I'll bid 6♦ since I can ruff a club loser.

I also would have cuebid 4♥ rather than bid 3NT.
It looks like partner, not knowing about our very well fitting hand, was trying for slam, as evidenced by his 3h...4c sequence. Since I have now taken two diamond preferences I will bid 5NT and let him pick which slam we play in.
