Was this hand really worth a 5♦ call? It's not hard to construct a hand for opener where 4♥ is the limit of the hand. You made a slam try, partner has an ill-fitting minimum, game over, yes? Partner's club void was a very nice surprise, but he could have been 3523 for the auction so far, in which case you aren't even making 4.
I think my hand is worth another slam try, my partner could have passed or bid 4
♥ over the opps (2nt) - I would have signed off 4
♥ here.
3
♦ is an advanced cue, I havent finished bidding this 6403 hand yet.
where are your ****?
