Current FNC qualified A320 captain here, 20 years on type. It looks to me like there was plenty of time to arrest the rate of descend earlier, especially considering the bounce was before the touchdown markers.

Flare was late and excessive, with enough AOA to climb away from runway. Maybe thrust levers were still in CLB.

However, RW23 can be a serious challenge in strong winds. Sometimes you’re trying to set the right pitch but the wind and vortices have other plans for you!
