If something is impeccable, you cannot find a fault in it. Manners, taste, timing, a suit, or someone’s English can be impeccable. It is a strong, slightly formal compliment — neater than just “very good”. People stretch it a little for style and performance, not usually for big moral questions. Though actually, the Latin first meant “not able to sin”. We no longer mean that a person is holy; we mean their work or manner has no hole you can pick at.
