Funny, I just tried it on a comte and it thought it was gruyere. Still probably a better guess than a lot of people I know would give (Edit, reading below I see others noticed the same thing)
Compté basically is Gruyère: same recipe, same process, same taste profile, just slightly different terroir. ( https://www.thephcheese.com/gruyere-and-comte-two-of-a-kind )
