I could not tell you what I had wanted to say on that occasion

In the sentence "I could not tell you what I had wanted to say on that occasion" is the grammar correct?

Thanks!

Yes (except for the missing full stop). But most speakers would use the simple past tense: I could not tell you what I wanted to say on that occasion.
