Not as strong as you'd expect.
Roald Dahl described retsina thus in 'Going Solo':

"The Greeks have a trick of disguising a poor quality wine by adding pine resin to it, the idea being that the taste of the resin is less appalling than the taste of the wine."

I'm no drinker, so I don't know the truth or false, but the description stayed with me.
